Yorkshire puds on a Xmas dinner - yes or no?

I love Yorkshires, but we NEVER have them as part of our Christmas dinner.

Do you?

    Nice! Usually before Xmas I make mini yorkshire puds filled with a sausage/cranberry/wensleydale combo - also weird and amazing! :)
  • Absolutley NOT!

    But we do have a lovely bit of crackling with the turkey :D

    It stems from the days when my Grandad was alive. He loved roast leg of pork so we always had one as well as the turkey on Christmas day. He's been gone a long time now, but we still have the crackling - turkey just doesn't taste the same without it!

    Have whatever you want - your dinner.

    There are no rules.

    Edited to add - although my OH seems to think there are and we have to have all the traditional shoite.

    What a waste of food.

    I shall have some soup and a slice or two of ham.

    No veg as they will all be roasted and I hate that.

    Yes, I live in Yorkshire. It's usual to have Yorkshire Puddings with any roast. It's as strange to me to think they only belong to roast beef as it would be if someone told me you should only serve carrots with roast pork (for example).

    We do if we can manage to find any room in the oven for them.

    I live in Yorkshire and the only roast Yorkshire puddings go with is roast beef.
    Yorkshire puddings go with sausages, gravy, oxtail soup, syrup, roast beef, on their own, but never with roasts that aren't beef.

    Think it is a tradition that varies depending on where in Yorkshire you are from. We are Dales Yorkshire, and nobody I know round here would put Yorkshire's with turkey.
    Only person I know who does is from an urban Yorkshire background.

    In your own home you mean? I've never heard of Yorkshire puddings with soup. How? Separately or with the Yorkshire on top of the soup, or the soup in it? Syrup I have heard of but have never had it myself, it tends to be an older generation that talk about eating it that way (at home)

    Cafes and pubs tend to serve Yorkshire puddings tend to serve yorkies with any meat here, the more formal restaurant doesn't.

    At my husbands work conference in the south coast last week, one woman (different part of Yorkshire to me) expressed surprise that she hadn't been served a Yorkshire pudding with her chicken meal. I knew it wouldn't be when I looked at the menu choices for us to book earlier in the year, even though it didn't state accompaniments, which is why I'd ordered beef.
